During previous episodes, we have explored several tales involving vehicles which have become closely associated with the paranormal. These include the vengeful spirit believed to have stalked the crew of the German Submarine UB-65, and the cursed 1964 Dodge 330 known as The Golden Eagle. In this episode we will finally be adding an aircraft to the list of allegedly haunted transports as we retell the story of the Ghosts of Flight 401.

In 1981, I was age 11 and attending an all girls school. We were asked to give a 5 minute talk on our favourite book. Everyone else in the class chose classics like Black Beauty, Secret Garden or Roald Dahl. I chose "The Ghost of Flight 401" by John G Fuller 😂 That book sparked a life long interest in the unexplained and supernatural which Bedtime Stories fulfills perfectly!
So, are these stories fiction or testamonies?
I remember reading a kid's book with pictures about the haunting of Flight 401. It's how I learned about the haunting and the names of the ghosts who appeared on the planes.
How did your class react to your talk? 😀
I got it from the library on my own. My parents simply did not believe in ghosts, so there you go.@@patriciahayes2664
@@patriciahayes2664She doesn’t know, she was in the principal’s office by then. 😅
Honestly having a ghostly guardian looking out for danger seems like a good thing. I know the idea of seeing a ghost is scary and all, but I cannot think of anything better as a flight crew than having a literal guardian angel there to warn you of any problems.
It’s a shame they didn’t embrace the phenomenon.
I said that same thing.. I saw it as a blessing not a curse.. though the whole ghost thing would be ruff 😂
This is exactly what I was thinking. Also, I don't think I'd ever complain about a nice, quiet person seated next to me on a flight.
They could of do a midnight flight surrounding this and embrace it for a unique flight for those who's into the Paranormal and not destroy all the salvage parts and put them in the museum or what I suggested, so yeah
I was just thinking that,why were they in such a hurry to get rid of it. I guess they thought the company’s reputation was more important Idk
Imagine going down into a place called the “hellhole” to check the avionics for your plane only to find the ghost of your dead colleague staring at you in the darkness.
I would literally shit my pants. That’s a jump scare from a horror movie right there.
Hard pass!
Some people will do anything to avoid work
"hey bestie"
👻👻👻
Rest in peace, you put the hours in even from beyond the grave to keep people safe.
Riperonni
If I die and still have to work I will lose my shit
Seems good-natured people remain good-natured whether in this life, or the next. May you be safe.
True. Major props to their big hearts.
Absolutely 👊💛👍
Shout out to the fishermen who immediately went toward the disaster instead of getting away. Thank you
Yeah absolutely. Legends. All whom run to danger to help others I'd happily shake hands and buy them a beer.
Absolutely heroes.
Indeed, especially with the alligators in the Everglades that could have been an additional hazard to the wounded.
FAIR ONE ! 👍💛👊
Robert "Bud" Marquis (1929-2008), an airboat pilot, was out frog gigging with Ray Dickinsin (1929-1988) when they witnessed the crash. They rushed to rescue survivors. Marquis received burns to his face, arms, and legs-a result of spilt jet fuel from the crashed TriStar-but continued shuttling people in and out of the crash site that night and the next day. For his efforts, he received the Humanitarian Award from the National Air Disaster Alliance/Foundation and the "Alumitech - Airboat Hero Award" from the American Airboat Search and Rescue Association.
Back when I streamed, I read 'The Ghosts of Flight 401' aloud. When I read the words 'tears wont bring me back" which was 'allegedly' said by Bob Loft's spirit to his daughter, the chat was full of emotion. Regardless of your beliefs, I find it a story that I will always remember, and hope that those involved are finally at peace. Stunning work as always, Bedtime Stories.
If only they could I'd want my parents back but in much better health and others that I miss everyday.
Sadly there's no such thing as a soul or spirit. The light or electrical impulses inside the brain simply go out.
@@jonniemayhemso u hv died b4,I guess
We don’t know that, Jonny. What comes after permanent death is a mystery, one that we will only solve when we pass away ourselves. There might not be something after…yet, there also might be.
We won’t know until then…
@@jonniemayhemwe don’t know that for sure.
Perhaps the spirits of the captains felt guilty about the crash, even though it was a accident, and their spirits couldn't move on until they could make up for their mistakes by protecting the rest of the flights. I hope they are at peace now.
Unfortunately in the flying world there's no such thing as an accident. The pilot is responsible for everything. Everything is pilot error.

@@applicationuser9764 dumb guy award of the day
I always love a good ghost story that involves the ghosts helping the living.
Me too! Especially the ghosts that help people
Why don't they help me by telling me all the secrets of their reality?
I genuinely want to know why
It's always a good day when a new bedtime stories video drops
Amén!
So much better than mr. Ballen.
Sickest drop ever
What a simp
@@bobbyhunter5026me also.
Deepest condolences and also respect for Don Repo's services, even beyond death he's still doing whatever he can to ensure another flights safety, kinda like the story of Luis Santiago in Strangeness in Borderlands
This is such a wholesome hauting. They looked after people from beyond, probably by the guilt they felt from the accident. Honestly, paranormal or not, they seemed like fine men.
I agree. They must've needed to expiate that feeling of responsibility before they could fully leave the world behind. I think some of the people to whom they appeared are very significant. An executive, a mechanic, pilots, and cabin crew. I think the startling nature of making it perfectly obvious that they are spirits by disappearing or looking in from impossible places was purposeful. Their lapse of attention caused a terrible accident that killed their passengers. I think they were saying, basically...boo! "Pay attention. We lost focus for a moment and look what happened. Don't let it happen to you." Once their presence became well known to the employees, the graphic, eerie example stuck in people's minds and got them subconsciously attuned not to make the same errors, and the sightings decreased. I think the lost airplane's parts were a means of connecting with the mortal world to such an impactful degree, like an emotional antenna. Once the executives had them removed, the spirits knew no one was going to easily forget flight 401 and hopefully be safer because of it.
This happens with boats, too. Most people won’t use parts from a boat that has sunk, even if undamaged and cheaper.
Also, off of Sand Island in Lake Superior, sometimes at anchor you can hear splashing and cries at night, but nothing is there. Because in 1905, a ship called the Sevona sank, and several people died.
Has anyone seen ghosts from the Edmund Fitzgerald? I’m actually asking a serious question.
@@pamelasimone5084 Not exactly. There have been one or two sightings of ships resembling the Edmund Fitzgerald that don’t show up on radar and can’t be communicated with via marine radio or yelling or anything. Usually in the distance on a lake.
And supposedly an area where the men were mourned has a heavy, sad feeling to it.
@@alexpeltier3330 That is so sad. Lake Superior is pretty dangerous.
I’m from Ohio and Lake Erie is small potatoes compared to Superior. I was watching a series on theories about how the lakes were formed. One scientist said Superior was almost akin to an inland sea not only because of the size but also because of the depth.
Thanks for the answer.
There is something about the pilots' pictures that are really eerie. I've never felt like I was being watched by a picture before.. they look like they are ready to come alive in the photo any second
Highly recommend the Ernest Borgnine movie. It will spook you.
That's on the south shore, right? Near Bayfield?
I clearly remember this story when it first broke between Christmas and New Years Eve of 1972. The thought of crash survivors trapped in a swamp inhabited by alligators and snakes was definitely unnerving. I saw the 1978 film starring Ernest Borgnine and Gary Lockwood. Many thanks, Bedtime Stories, for this astounding story.
I didn't know there was a film. Thanks very much for mentioning it!
I saw it, too. I liked it. 👻😁
@@kayb9979 You're welcome. Stay safe out there. -- W
I forgot about that movie.
@@walterfechter8080 Thank you: and you. I'm not inclined to indulge in ghostly activities for a few years yet! 😏
Since I’ve found your channel, I’ve waited for you to talk about this story. It’s one of the first ghost stories I’d ever heard about.
Talk about creepy
Love when you guys post on the weekends! I'm 35 years old, but since 2019 when we found the channel, my dad and I have always watched any new episodes together. Visit my parents most weekends, so it's nice not having to wait all week! Thank you guys for all you do! It's nice still having a way to bond with my father, even as an adult.
Good of you to visit your parents so often.
Dude that’s awesome 👏🏼 so wholesome! I’m going to start watching this with my parents one a week now. I can only hope I still have them when I’m 35. I do my best to cherish every moment that I still have with them, as they are older, in their 70’s.
Saw MrBallen's telling of the story, now seeing Bedtime Stories take is gonna be FANTASTIC!
Time to sit in for this!!
I gotta hand it to you guys. I saw the title and was disappointed simply because I've heard this story so many times before. You surprised me with stories I hadn't heard before and had me on edge of my seat the entire time. This was a great episode, thanks.
As a big fan of the Mayday / Air Crash Investigation TV series, this was a cool episode to see. Their documentary on the crash and investigation even ended with mentioning the ghost stories of flight 401.
I watched this film in 1978, Earnest Borgnine was the main star. I also bought the book, which I read several times. Unfortunately it went missing when I moved five years ago
You can still find "The Ghost of Flight 401" (1978) here on TH-cam.
To those who don't know, the procedure of cannibilizing crashed or wrecked plane parts and using them in other aircraft of the same type is a practice that is still done to this day. It saves on cost and production, especially in planes that are out of production.
401 is, to my knowledge, the only case of aircraft parts being distributed across the fleet that resulted in ghost sightings. There was a rumor that parts from American Flight 77, the plane that hit the pentagon, were repurposed into other 757s. However that was just a rumor that the 9/11 museum has debunked since *they* have the recovered parts.
One last fun fact: Frank Boreman of Apollo 8, the first manned orbit of the moon, headed the investigation of Flight 401, and called the ghostly sightings: "Garbage." He's one to talk since he claimed to hear music coming up from the moon.
There weren't any parts reused from flight 401, that was just something claimed by the author of the book "ghosts of flight 401" which is also the source of all the ghost stories about the flight which he claimed were from Eastern airline employees but conveniently didn't name any of them. It's all really just an urban legend, something that's been repeated so many times that people think it's true.
@temerityxd8602 Like BTS said, when you have so many reports of **something** happening in relation to Lockheed L1011 Tristars flying for Eastern and Eastern only, you cannot discount them so willy-nilly. Especially since the macabre practice of salvaging parts from wrecked planes is a common cost saving procedure in Aviation.
That seems unlikely, considering no plane hit the pentagon.
@@Tu49 The problem is that all those different reports came from a single source, one book written by an author with a history of publishing UFO stories and other wacky things and every subsequent version of the story just references back to that book. Eastern airlines have stated themselves that they have no history of any sort of ghost sightings and while salvaging parts might be used for older planes where spare parts are hard to come by, the Tristar was a brand new plane so this wouldn't really be necessary.
I've never understood why the bizarre 'music' supposedly heard by Apollo 10 has never been further studied
Instead, it just gets shelved and forgotten about
A really good story! I remember when that plane went down and when people started saying they saw the dead from that flight. It defies explanation unless you want to get into different dimensions.
They are simply beyond the veil, observing and trying to comprehend what they see. All it takes is for you to reach out and aid them for them to aid you.
What's interesting to me is the ghost warned of the fire before it occurred. This could posit that from beyond the grave past and present are connected to a degree. This would fit in with the topic of premonitions and "Life Reviews" that people allegedly report.
So I have a very strange connection with this flight, to begin with both my aunt and uncle worked for Eastern during this incident and in fact met while they were both deadheading on a Tristar from Atlanta to Miami, flash forward a couple decades later that very same uncle typically went fishing with me and my grandfather in a canal right off Tamiami Trail quite often and in 1996 (I was still a child at that time) all 3 of us saw ValueJet Flight 592 crash roughly 5ish miles away from us and roughly a mile away from where Flight 401 crashed in 1972. Anytime this story gets brought up I have flashbacks of that day and a chill runs down my spine when I recall this bizarre connection I and my family have with it... suffice to say its creepy to say the least.
I'm the 18 comment.
The number of Infinity.
This is my 9th video of flight 401 who departed from JFK at 9:20 with 163 passengers & 13 crew members
Richard, your narration is golden
Always been fascinated by this story - so happy you guys have covered it!
I really like this story. First, the ghosts are actively benevolent, protecting people. And second, some of the accounts, like the first one, are VERY compelling. How exactly do you explain away a person sitting in a seat vanishing into thin air, witnessed at point blank range by multiple people, in a confined airplane?
It's a very interesting case, I'll give ya that. The fact the ghost warned about a fire on the plane as well is also noteworthy, when looking back at premonition like incidents such as Flight 191. Reality might be far stranger than we see on the surface.
@@SabrinaLey-of6lrI personally believe the stories as me and my family had personal encounters with ghosts in our old house before, it wasn’t until 2016 we finally moved out but my great grandma still resides there with her care takers.
I can recall 2 accounts I had, one was seeing a shadow figure at our living room just standing and looking at me, second one is when I heard a voice talking to me even though there was no else with me at the time.
My mom told me about her account when she was studying with one of her friends (this was back in the 90s during her college years), one of them pointed out to her there’s a person staring at them outside the window whom she thought is one of the care takers, my mom told her that everyone else is inside the house. They freaked out over the next hour.
My sister encountered a figure with red eyes outside of the house during the night.
I shouldn't be watching videos about plane crashes, my husband is flying to NOLA tomorrow, but I can't resist Bedtime Stories! Well done, as always!
I'm sure your husband will be fine.
Rest assured that each of the awful crashes in the past have led to investigations and stronger safety measures - he'll be fine. I'm amazed that I managed to fly safely in the 70s and 80s!
A favorite mystery of mine. Glad you guys did an episode on this. Mikey’s artwork is always amazing, but the thumbnail rendering is creepy and sad. Gave me chills. It’s 10 in the morning here and I’m creeped out watching this episode. Excellent job, guys.
I was very much a non believer of ghosts untill I had my own experience. I was a KC-10 mechanic and we had parts from an aircraft that caught on fire on the ground and a solider died. The KC-10 aircraft was tail # 82-190 from Barksdale AFB.
I and many other soliders would report strange noises and apparitions that ALL parts from the burned aircraft would be pulled from all aircraft.
I once worked with a guy whose father was one of the first responders to the crash. He said it was the most horrific thing he'd ever experienced, and he'd never set foot in the Everglades again. Not because of the crash, because of the feeding frenzy. Not everyone who died that night died in the crash. Many were torn apart by alligators.
Love this channel so much, jumping into bed and watching this on a rainy Sunday night is bliss thank you
You’re so lucky to have a rainy night!! I’m so jealous. It’s 2:22pm in dry California. No rain here for a few more months
@@Emzzz7822.50 here in West Yorkshire , England ... We had insane heatwaves only last week ... Now Autumn is definitely here.... It's nightime and foggy , misty , rainy and damp outside .... Got all my winter clothes out of storage today, sat in bed with 3 layers on .... All snuggled up.... I'd love a holiday in sunny California!!!
(Perfect weather for Ghost/spooky stories and horror though)
Don Repo was a pretty based ghost
He stuck around as long as it took to make sure his friends remained safe, even if he scared the holy hell out of them
Whoah! I just bought Bay Rum scented soap last night. Last one on the shelf. I saw it and thought of Earnest Borgnine's portrayal of the 2nd officer of Flight 401. Bay Rum aftershave. That smell allegedly appeared on some aircraft and in the hanger of the recovered L1011. And now this video drops (writing this an hour after posting). What a weird coincidence.
Weird coincidence I'm the 6th comment born on a Saturday of June.
This is my 9th video of flight 401 who departed from JFK at 9:20 with 163 passengers and 13 crew members
I went to work for Delta in 1990, and spent some years working ramp operations (a baggage handler basically, but I also did some load planning.) After Eastern went under, Delta bought most of Eastern's L-1011s and rotated them into the fleet. There were always stories about ships that had parts from Flight 401 on them. My assumption is that most of them were apocryphal, 3rd or 4th hand, or just tall tales. Still always liked to hear them since it made things interesting. While the ghost stories were probably embellished by the time I heard them, the one thing that the Eastern L-1011s were haunted by was... cocaine, lots of it. At one point they had found so much of it tucked behind cargo panels that the DEA opened a field office at the hangar so they could shorten the chain of custody. Ah, good times indeed. Thanks for telling the flight 401 story, keep up the good work!
It's always a good day whenever you guys drop this fantastic content. Hugely appreciated over here guys, can't find another group of people who can do it better. And your sister channel war stories is great too!
Excellent story! Will you guys do a story on the ghosts of O'hare airport in Chicago from the 1970s (1979?) airplane crash just after takeoff? Those are some really spooky tales!
That sounds intriguing, I haven't heard of that - must look it up! (Edit - just found it - Flight 191, 25 May 1979.)
I remember the TV movie with Ernest Borgnine playing the ghost of 401 when I was like 2 years old and barely remember anything about it except him appearing suddenly here and there
I think it was very stupid of the spooked flight crew to demand the action of removing the old parts. The spectrals were clearly trying to keep the flights safe. And now that they’re gone more accidents can happen verses having ghosts on your side to protect you. I’d choose the latter… that was stupid.
Thanks for finally covering this. I first learned about this particular story thanks to Readers Digest's book "Almanac of the Uncanny" which was gifted to me by my dad back in 2004. I also remembered this story being featured on Mayday/Air Crash Investigation as well.
Growing up in Miami this crash was legendary a bizarre coincidence the Valujet crash in 1996 was less than 5 miles from the flight 401 crash in 1972
Never get tired of this particular haunt. Thanks, Sir!
Love it! Perfect Sunday night listening 😊
I LOVE hearing takes on this story! I first read about it back in the early 90s, a second hand copy of a book called ‘Phone Call From A Ghost’ - anyone ever hear of it?? Those ghost stories Frightened the hell out of 9 year old me! And helped set me onto the path of the strange and mysterious lol. Fantastic job guys, Loved this episode 👏❤
My book was Stranger Than Fiction from the 60s, I believe, that scared me into loving this kind of stuff.
@@itsthehumidityyall8303 I’ve heard of that one! I’d like to get my hands on it 😁 I love collecting old ghost stories
I could only imagined for the passengers and crews who are unaware they are flying in a haunted Tristar plane with all the parts from flight 401 I might read that book in a future brilliant ghostly story.
Another alleged ghost story involves dead passengers from American Airlines Flight 191 in Chicago in 1979; some claimed that people with burnt clothing and smelled like jet fuel knocked on their doors and asked where their flight was, then disappeared.
Why is Franz Ferdinand the perfect band for a ghost to sing and harass someone in the washroom with? 😂
(Easily one of my favourite albums, btw)
According to crash studies, the tail section is the safest place to be and has the highest probability of crash survival.
Second safest place, the first safest place is at home on the couch, and never getting on a plane😂😂.
@@trent3872 No argument from me. 👍
Glad to see a new bedtime stories story come up on my notifications. Please make a lot more 🙏🏼 love listening to these at night 🙂
I saw the 1970s movie with Ernest Borgnine and Kim Basinger. I was mad that they portrayed the ghost experiences as 'insane' and made them see psychiatrists.
It's policy to do that for some strange reason there is a unspoken rule among all pilots and flight attendants not to say anything about ghost sightings or they'll be booted outright. I must include the witnesses in UFO or now UAP
@@cyankirkpatrick5194the UFO enigma is very puzzling. Fortunately the stigma against pilots reporting UAP incidents is lessening.
@cyankirkpatrick5194 Pilots were also threatened with a 10000 dollar fine and possible jail time for reporting UFOs in the 50's, and to never fly again.
One of the first ghost stories I can remember reading about as a child.
This episode reminds me of the residual thoughts that dwell in things. If cabin security cameras had been installed back then, a more detailed verification might have been possible. Please rest in peace.🍀
"The Stone Tape" but with bits of plane?
@@alisonkirkland6132 I didn't know what that meant, so I looked it up and found out it was exactly that. It may be unscientific, but I think that people's thoughts stay in things as well. Both positive and negative ones. 🌿
Great video as always, aviation related ghost stories don’t get talked about enough, the ghost planes of the Peak District would be another good tale to tell 😉
I remember when I was working from home in a shitty company, I used to always have lunch break in my living room and watch these videos. It was the highlight of my workday. Thanks Bedtime Stories!
Brilliantly done as always guys.
There is no known mechanism by which suggestion can lead to serious hallucinations - thinking you saw something behind a tree sure, thinking you heard something sure but having a conversation with a ghost???
I remember watching the Mayday episode of this (also called Air Emergency I think). Very good episode. You might find it on TH-cam. Great job retelling this!
I love everything about this channel. The production, art, music, and content is so perfect. Don’t ever change anything Bedtime Stories. I even love your merch! Just the fonts you guys use for the Bedtime Stories t-shirt are amazing. I’ve got a hoodie, beanie, and t-shirt so far. I deserve a free gift 🎁 lol
GHOST: We'll make sure none of you die like we did.
*saves crew and passengers*
CREW: Ah, evil ghosts! Get rid of them!
That's some lame gratitude for you.
Super spooky!!! Very well done! The flickering light and ghostly apparition in the plane was awesome! ❤👏❤️
The scariest part of this story is that if you die at work, you may have to continue working. Now that’s frightening!
Unpaid overtime!
Respect to the deceased flight crew for their dedication beyond the grave. Truly the definition of "even in death, i still serve".
I've worked both at a hospital and at a airport. The airport was the scariest.
Your channel is the only one I actually get a thrill of excitement from when I open TH-cam and THERE'S A NEW BEDTIME STORIES! 😂 I love your content and presentation. Cudos to your artist. I love it. 👏
An original floor board from Flight 401 remains in the archives at History Miami in South Florida. Pieces of Flight 401's wreckage can also be found in Ed and Lorraine Warren's Occult Museum in Monroe, Connecticut.
One of my favorite modern ghost stories......more of these please!
This, like many other stories posted on your channel, is a very interesting and entertaining video! Also, those ghosts who were connected to those salvaged parts were benevolent in nature with no hint of malicious intent; especially in the last story when the ghost even warned the stewardess of a fire onboard the plane which somehow he have foreseen in the future. That was a very rare ghost sighting indeed.
I love this channel and watch it almost everyday on my work break the illustrator and narrator are absolutely fascinating.
I’ve had a encounter with what could only be described as a ghost car one night. Observed by me and another person. It just made me feel like things are happening that are not easily explained.. not even technology could explain what’s going on around us.
Some of your videos make me shiver at how real and creepy they are. Thanks for being an awesome channel!
Thank you for adding the Ghosts of Flight 401 to the list. It's been a while since i've heard a good tale about 401's ghosts.
In the late 70's I worked for a hotel that was owned by American Airlines here in suburban Ft Worth. There were a couple of administrative staff there that had been stews for Eastern at the time of the event.(Eastern lasted until '91 but a lot of them were already jumping ship in the 70's. It was a slow death spiral.) One of them talked about how it was strictly forbidden by management for them to talk about these encounters with other staff. I think they had to actually sign a paper to the effect. One of them knew one of the stews who had seen Repo on a flight. They were steadfast in their belief in these occurrences.
While doing the research on Flight 401 for my recent book, “Haunted Sky,” I was somewhat taken aback by the account that I read from an anonymous former employee of Eastern who stated that there many people at the airline who had ghostly encounters, but never came forward because of Eastern threatening to fire those who spoke of their experiences. The airline also threatened serious legal action against anyone who came forward to discuss the paranormal events related to 401. Interestingly, this ongoing threat of legal consequences was evidenced by Bob Welch’s song -”The Ghost of Flight 401” with that line in the song: “The ghost of Flight 401, appeared aboard the jet airplanes -In flesh & blood & clothes he came on an eastern airline I can't name”
In the end, the ghostly encounters from Flight 401 will remain as one of the most intriguing examples of unexplained supernatural phenomena.
Well done, guys! This is one of my favorite true-life haunting stories.
William Shatner's "Weird or What?" series did a segment on this story.
Finally we get to see and hear the legend of the Ghosts of Flight 401
I have seen this many times in the form of a Mayday Episode covering the same accident. You guys did this perfectly. Goosebumps all around
The twilight zone became real for the last story 😳
I ❤ Bedtime stories.
that story has always fascinated me , great retelling thanks
remember seeing the famous book related to this story for sale a lot around Gatwick airport when it first came out lol
I first heard about this from an episode of Unsolved Mysteries.
Heard this story so many times. I always seem to learn something new about it every time. Its amazing how each story teller chooses a slightly different angle to tell it. Depending on the angle in which they tell it, you hear different bits of the story and can have a clearer understanding of what actually happened. The horror, the pain, the confusion, the sadness. The screams had to be blood chilling. The type of situation where you literally feel the screams and the groans. Then coupled with everything that happened after. Truly bizarre.
Excellent telling of this story. Just 1 remark tho - only Don Repo went into the hellhole. Captain Loft never left his chair, in fact the rescue personnel found him still strapped in his chair in the remains of the cockpit, clinging to life, but he died, b4 they could extricate him.
Man the last time i was this early to bedtime storys they painted me a picture of a kraken. Thanks guys😂
I remember hearing about 401 a while ago i think it was on Mr Ballin’s channel. Really creepy stories about that flight.
Oh good, got a trip coming up soon too….
The ghosts seem to be watching over for the flight crew and passegners, I wouls say they are good spirits that suffered an horrible death and want to prevent others to have the same fate. I would feel really confortable on a haunted plane with Flight 401 parts because of this.
You're nuts.
Keep up the great work guys. Your my go to channel for the best paranormal and spooky, mysterious stories. Ive been a fan since I first heard Dyatlov Pass Videos. The Kenny Veach M-Cave story and be hard pressed to pick a favorite. So l leave it to you for my nightmare fuel when I can't sleep but my favorite are the paranormal stories, but ty they're all greatly illustrated and narrated and just wanted to say thanks for the work you guys do and can't wait for the next one
Sunday night complete ❤😊
And Sunday suddenly just got way better! 😊
Some of the parts had been faulty, so it makes sense to prevent any risk of those parts malfunctioning while installed on other aircraft.
As others have said excellent 1978 film The ghost of flight 401 depicts this true story very well. Look out for a young Kim Bassinger also.
Can you do a video on the supposed paranormal events following the narrow water/warrenpoint ambush in 1979? The soldiers are said to haunt the area to this day
Well damn, was just looking for a video to watch on this, cant beat em when they are this fresh!

Ngl, it’s refreshing that Loft and Repo still look out for the passengers and fellow colleagues even though they’re not part of the living anymore.
I remember Mr.Ballen doing a video about the events.

Ghostly voice: There's a fire on the plane.
Merryweather: Surely you can't be serious!
Ghostly voice: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.
i had read somewhere that an exorcism was done and that the ghosts had briefly appeared and were agonised that they were being forced to move on
Why would one exorcised ghosts that were helpful?
For some reason the animation reminds me of when you’re drawing but your hand picks up extra graphite and smudges it into a spot making the drawing look “messy” and I love it
Very well done. This hits home to me because my father was involved with this mishap. He was a police officer with Miami-Dade and part of their crime scene guys (way before CSI). He and a lot of his fellow cops were helicoptered out and fingerprinted and bagged the dead passengers to identify and remove their remains. He said the whole scene was odd, which the TV movie accurately portrays. If you had 3 seats next to each other, the outside guys were dead, but the middle guy was perfectly fine. In the row behind, the middle guy is dead, but the outside guys were fine, and so forth. Crazy patterns were prevalent as to who died and who survived. Some survivors were in shock, some were singing Christmas carols, etc. Very bizarre.
